Allan Saint-Maximin (now playing for Fenerbahce, on loan from Al-Ahli)


Recommended Posts

He posted in French “I’m living my best life here” in Twitter in response to someone making a passing remark in French about what it would be like for him to be at a ‘top club’. Glad to hear he’s happy

I'm a sad cunt so read through Redcafe's other games thread and everyone raved about him. Things like 'we fucked up not buying him pre-takeover', ASM>>>Sancho and him being valued at £70m-100m now. :lol: Just shows how good he is when everything clicks. That interview with Trippier is lovely and shows that it's not just Howe who's trying to help him fulfill his potential. Exciting times and if he can play like that consistently we'll have a great season. Really want that RW so he gets more space against every team and can replicate what he did today more often.

On and off the ball he was perfect yesterday. Defensively he protected Burn and grafted his balls off. Even off the ball offensively he did the same. He created, what 3 goals and could have assisted more and even scored a few. That was his best ever game for us. His passing was incise and perfectly timed and weighted mostly as well. Long may it continue.

I enjoy the way he seems to be shielding the ball better with his back to goal, either drawing the foul or bringing the defender out of position to get tight. He was outstanding yesterday.

Good point about the shielding, when he was under pressure yesterday he made the right decision every time. Didn’t just try and dribble past someone, but either passed it, shielded it or cut away in a different direction into space

Absolutely brilliant performance yesterday, fantastic stuff. Even end of last season you could see he was trying to adapt his game, hopefully this performance showed the kinds of results he could get if he really follows through with it.

 

Could've easily ended up with 4 assists, which is just silly against Man City.

This is something the likes of Sterling and Foden do brilliantly, it's not enough to just be a great dribbler.

Yeah I noticed him doing it a few times, and standing just a couple yards in front of the fullback, I guess forcing them to make a decision to either get tight or stand off. Either option is not a good one.

City gave the world a lesson in how not to defend against ASM. They gave him time and space to control, turn and run at them. Wolves will probably stick about 4 men on him now :lol:

 

I mean if they did would be wonderful for Wilson left alone in acres :D Which should be the point but Miggy bless him isn't much of a threat so we have failed to take advantage too often of ASM being crowded out.

Would be brilliant if we suddenly signed Diaby, then they would be screwed. We need someone as menacing on the other side, then sides would be lost what to do.

noticeably brilliant largely due to city not bothering to double him like everyone else does. 
 

This lad is the key, we just need someone on the other flank who can make the most of the space he creates. 

We need bodies attacking the box to prevent the opposition doubling up on him, and somebody overlapping.

He was outstanding yesterday, probably better than Everton (h) last season given the assists and the opposition. Had a chuckle at a point in the 2nd half when he started running at Walker and Stones and the 2 just immediately stood off. :lol:

 

Hopefully he follows this up next week at Wolves.
